Last time I took Prednisone, I felt great for days. Lots of energy, no pains, clear thinking. I was expecting the same thing this time around, even though I took it for no apparent reason, the MRI contrast having been disapproved.
I was not prepared for the migraine headache, the exhaustion, the foggy thinking. Ugh. I just plowed through my paper assignment anyway. I am sure its not my best effort, but I did feel as if I answered the question with a good amalgam of resources. Never mind the pounding in your temples. Never mind the bone weariness. Never mind the feeling of lead in your legs.
Ignore the dirty dishes piling up in the sink, the unwashed laundry, the empty cupboards. Just get what you have to have at the grocery store and save the big shopping for when you have recovered more. Go to bed as soon as you get home. Take an afternoon nap. Don't read your email or answer your phone. Be quiet and let it pass.
Phooey on the prednisone blues.
